Innovation of Classified Cultivation and Classified Evaluation in Training Outstanding Engineers in Energy and Electric Power
Abstract
Driven by both the “new engineering” initiative and the energy revolution, the traditional engineering education model can hardly meet the demand of the energy and electric power industry for diversified and interdisciplinary outstanding engineers. Based on the “industry-university-research-application” four-in-one collaborative education concept, this paper constructs a new training system centered on classified cultivation and classified evaluation. The system aims to solve core problems such as homogeneous training, disconnection between industry and academia, single evaluation method, and insufficient faculty. Through measures including modular courses, the dual-tutor system, and diversified practical platforms, it realizes differentiated and precise talent training, so as to deliver outstanding engineers with the ability to “define problems, break through technologies, and create value” for the energy and electric power industry.
